ACTIFY ANNOUNCES AVAILABILITY OF ACTIFY PUBLISHER 2005

Company’s Full Suite of Products Solidifies Position as the Only True Digital Design Communication Provider for Manufacturers and Their Supply Chains

San Francisco, CA – February 22, 2005– Actify Inc., the worldwide leader in client-server design visualization and collaboration solutions for the high technology, automotive, aerospace, industrial automation and discrete manufacturing industries, today announced the availability of Actify Publisher 2005. Actify Publisher 2005 is an advanced file publishing tool that allows users to centralize and automate the conversion of native 2D/3D CAD files into Actify's proprietary .3D file format.

With the release of Actify Publisher 2005, users can now define and manage each aspect of the publishing process, including which source CAD files to automatically publish, where to post the newly published files, who to notify of the completed process, and more. Users with large amounts of old, inaccessible legacy CAD data, as well as new CAD data, will spend little to no time managing the conversion of these files, making them more quickly and easily accessible to the entire design chain, ultimately saving time and money.

The release of Actify Publisher 2005 expands Actify's offerings by now providing its customers with a suite of products to manage the digital design communication process. The suite of products includes Actify Publisher 2005, the automated creator of the .3D files, Actify Server, the repository to manage and share the files, SpinFire Professional, the tool that users leverage to view, measure and markup CAD files and SpinFire Reader, the free viewer that allows users to share .3D files created with Actify Publisher and SpinFire Professional in a view-only format.

"By releasing Actify Publisher 2005, Actify continues to deliver on its promise to provide the best Digital Design Communication products that will significantly improve our customers' design development process," said Randy Ochs, President and CEO of Actify Inc. "We are excited to deliver a tool that is unique to the industry, that automates and centralizes the conversion of design data, allowing customers to save time and money. This announcement further solidifies our position as the only true digital design communication solution provider in the industry."

With Actify Publisher 2005 users now can:
— Centralize and automate the function of batch publishing .3D files from native 2D/3D CAD files
— Save money by centralizing all importers to one computer, reducing software and maintenance costs from multiple systems to one system
— Create a "job" that defines a unique set of rules for .3D file publishing like which files to publish, when to publish them and where the published files should be posted
— Create automated email notifications after the .3D publishing processing is completed
— Quickly and automatically publish a large archive of native CAD files through one central source
— Ensure accuracy and consistency, through automation, by eliminating human error. All files are guaranteed to be published
— Save time and money by eliminating the time it takes to conduct conversions

Actify’s suite of products are designed to enable easy and secure access, communication and distribution of multiple 2D/3D CAD file formats, and related documents through global enterprises and supply chains, without requiring access to native CAD systems. This allows for paperless distribution of complex design data so companies will realize cost savings and productivity gains in product design, procurement, quoting and estimation, manufacturing, sales, marketing and support.
